The water was very rough.We were playing a game. You had to hold on to other students kayaks. SPLASH! There was a GIANT wave coming at me! It filled up my WHOLE kayak! Mr Karsten pushed me back into the water! The pedal wasn't that heavy! After that, we played Shark Attack. Then we had a race. WHOOSH! I went pretty far. Then we played the game were you have to hold on to other children's kayaks. My hands were hurting. But we got separated!
